Yes.

The following table shows the amino acid requirements of adults as recommended by the World Health Organization calculated for a 62-kilogram adult, and the amino acid profile of 2530 calories of baked potatoes (9 large baked potatoes), which comprise a day's worth of calories for a 62-kilogram adult:

Essential Amino AcidRequirement mg/day/62 kg adult9 large baked potatoesTryptophan248565Threonine9301830Isoleucine12401830Leucine24182691Lysine18602933Methionine+Cystine9301534Phenylalanine+Tyrosine15503553Valine16122682Histidine620942

As you can see from the table above, you would get a sufficient amount of every essential amino acid by eating nothing but potatoes all day--and most of us don't consider potatoes to be a particularly good source of protein.
